Capo I 
Intro:   G    D    C   G  
GLife was a ball of alcohol and pills and booze and Dgals 
Every hunger-over mornin was an unheeded warning that I shared with my lost pGals 
And the music flowed and my chosen road grew wider every Cday 
                 D            C           D        C              D   C-  G  
Til the highs got low and my will said no, I can't go on that way 
Can't go that Cway, can't go that Gway 
Yes the Dhighs got lCow and my wDill said Cno 
                D   C-  G  
I can't go on that way 
Sugar is sweet and good prime meat is so hard to come by 
Sacharin is around again but today it's do or die 
My baby is home where i belong and this is still my day 
I'm hangin on and I'm comin on strong and i can't go on that way 
Can't go that way, can't go that way 
I'm still hangin on and comin on strong 
And i can't go on that way 
Up is down and next time around i ain't goin round again 
When it comes my time i'm gonna stop at the line and forget where i been 
Who was it said that alive is dead and night to some is day 
Just let her go and let a new wind blow 'cause i can't go on that way 
Can't go that way, can't go that way 
Just let her go and let a new wind blow 
'Cause i can't go on that way

Just let her go and let a new wind blow 'cause i can't go on that way

Can't go that way, can't go that way

Just let her go and let a new wind blow

'Cause i can't go on that way
